| Fantasy Horror Thriller

5 friends take a road trip to visit the caves within the Gomeda valley. Little do they know that these caves are still haunted by memories of torture that took place in the past. As they get closer, one by one, their dreams turn into nightmares, their nightmares turn into hallucinations, and their hallucinations turn into reality until the line between real and surreal exists no more: The valley begins to resemble the mother's womb, and the caves begin to resemble the umbilical cord between the mother and her unborn child. The memories of torture give way to the ever-haunting presence of guilt and regret that could only be felt by a mother.

I watched Gomeda on movie theater at my city. My friend took away me and I was really curious what would be it looked like. Well, I must say This movie was not a horror,may be we can say that is 'Fantsastic experimentation'...OK here I go anyway... But there was a lot of shooting,acting,dramatic,theatrical and storytelling problems.I can understand because of director is very young and Gomeda is his first feature film.OK Directing of this film was not pretty bad,I see.Unfortunately, due to the restraints placed on the film by its extremely low budget, the visuals are often as murky as the storyline.And there is no powerful Gothic scenes.As a horror movie it really fails, no scares at all and it is quite muddled and boring. Some people say 'Gomeda' is an art movie, but I could not see a laughable,terrible and breoken off art movie like that.So, how can we say it is an art movie!Just funny!

This movie is unique, I was browsing the comments and I don't believe people claiming that it had Cliché scenes? You either have no idea what a cliché is or you're clearly lying about the movie. Gomeda is one of the most unique movies, the scenes and the screenplay are both so original and creative that I myself being a movie freak and as a cinema student have never seen such scenes requiring an amazing imagination and also experience and education. Its originality distinguishes it from the other Cliché movies where you just watch and do not need to use your brain at all. I know people seeing the movie 3 times and still giving a thought to its original scenes which finally gives the audience a chance to think.Thinking after watching a movie is something that we unfortunately are not used at all. The movie takes you to journey as if you're asleep and dreaming nightmares and it makes you to leave your social role and touches the hidden parts of the human thought. it's time to learn and appreciate some beautiful art.Perfect, just perfect.

Gomeda is a type of movie that you observe deep in thought and you want to see it again in order not to miss any little bit that may bring new ideas to ardent conversations about it. The set design was spellbinding, the acting had some flows but nevertheless was successful. The creativity that had crossed the director's mind during the stage of screenplay amazes me.The movie was enhanced with the secrets of subconsciousness and numerous surreal meanings. Although it has never been advertised as a horror movie, it's unjustly criticised for not being scary at all. As far as I could see the director and the actors have talked about this surrealist fantastic movie on the TV many times. Negative criticisms from many people are only expressed with at most 4 words consisting at least one F word. If there is negative criticism, the reasons of the negativity should be explained, otherwise these ideas will never be taken seriously and in the end these people not being able to write a complete sentence will have to be ignored.. I very much liked the movie all in all and I can say that this movie deserves to take its place in cinema books.

This film is amazing! Never have I seen such pretty film from Turkish cinema. It is like watching an Opera. It finished too soon, I wish it was longer. Some people didn't understand this film, too bad for them. But many people do understand and love this film. It is one of the best! The cast and crew did an amazing job. I read that this is Turkey's first surrealist film. It is true. Every scene has many symbols and meanings. It is like nightmares and dreams. Some of the scenes were so effective that I got goosebumps. I especially liked the 2 male actors, Serkan Altunorak and Halim Ercan, who were in a TV series not too long ago. They did an excellent job in this film as well. I congratulate Tan Tolga Demirci, as this was his first feature film. I hope that he will continue to make films and I wish him the best. I will take my friends to see it again next weekend.
